New Student Orientation

New Student Orientation
is an introduction to Truman College. You will learn about academic programs,
student policies, and support services. Students may also register for classes
with an Academic Advisor.  

During your Orientation session
you will:      
        

·   
Learn about your next
steps as a new student. 

·    Hear from an Admissions Specialist and Academic Advising. 

·   
Take a virtual tour of
the campus. 

Before your Orientation
session:              

• ​Complete
  your free online Admission Application (https://youtu.be/hbfwCD0WvKY) for Truman College.
  Truman is an open-access college, so all students are accepted once the
  required admissions steps are completed.

·   
You will then receive
an email from AccountManagment@ccc.edu with your temporary my.ccc.edu portal log-in information. Be sure to log-in and update your
password to something you will remember. If you have questions please contact
an Admissions Specialist (Zoom link: https://cccedu.zoom.us/j/6780838527). 

• Once you are able to log into the portal you can take the online placement test. Please Note:
  You can take the Math placement test up to 5 times. However, you can only take the English placement test once in a calendar year. So, we highly recommend you make an appointment with (https://cccedu.zoom.us/j/5266760475) the Test Prep Center to prepare. The English test is timed and you have 2.5 hours to complete it. So, make sure to be ready! If you have questions or need assistance with the placement test, please contact the Testing Center (https://cccedu.zoom.us/j/7359869151). We also provide accommodations for students taking the placement test through our Disability Access Center or call 773-907-4725.

·   
Once you have completed
your placement test, you will sign up for New Student Orientation. 

·   
If
you are interested and eligible to use financial aid, complete your FAFSA​ and be sure to add the Truman College code 001648. Please Note: It may be up to 5 business
days for an electronic FAFSA submission, and 14 days
for a paper FAFSA submissions to be visible to our financial aid
office. So, do not delay! 

If you have completed
and will be transferring 15 credit hours from an accredited
institution prior to attending Truman, you can waive the new student
orientation; however, you must provide an official college
transcript to the Registrar’s Office (https://cccedu.zoom.us/j/3627428704).

from the placement test. Students must show proof of credits
with an accredited college transcript.

exempt from the placement test. ACT scores are only valid for four years.
